the pain is that great
dear friend
i myself am not in a good place either
having no control over our own body
is more then i could swallow
my life changed forever

yet...

in all the despair
and sadness
the void of my family
i must have a reason
for as badly as all is
i must make it to the end
of whatever day it may have been

only to be awakened
and go through the same feeling
of doom every single morning
this is the hardest
pushing through the day
with that feeling
yet i do
i ask God to help
let my daughter know how i feel
my grandchild sees me cry more
than i would like

and so will you
you will
with much understanding
love
me
